It looks like there will be no solo mining in this coin. The pools need 5 minutes to compile the source. So they will be up and mining before the launch. Why not give the solo miners a chance and release the password to everyone at the same time?
Why don't you just join a pool as well? As this is a KGW coin, solo mining will work just for the first couple of blocks anyway.
For the record I actually don't like coins that are launched with KGW. I know a long diff retarget is unfair to people joining a couple of days late, but without big bag holders there are little or no interest in promoting the coin. In this case though I think KGW@launch is the way to go as there are only seven days of mining!
